This Is How the Series Finale of Friday Night Lights Made Me Feel

There has been lots of ink spilled over the last few days by critics and fans singing the praises for the five seasons of Friday Night Lights — the television show that wasn’t really about football as much as it was about everything else that make people human — so I won’t go into too much detail about the series finale on Friday other than to say it perfectly captured that nebulous, happy-sad feeling of being alive in America in the 21st century. It’s the same way I feel when I listen to these songs: happy, sad, wishing I was the wife of a football coach, etc.
